Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Cocking Causeway
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice because it handles water. If you’re dealing with threshold joints that have opened or worn and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can help, on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors alike.
Work in a small place like Cocking Causeway just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.

When to call us in Cocking Causeway
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Cocking Causeway, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What floor joint sealing looks like in Cocking Causeway
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like Midhurst CofE Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Common questions in Cocking Causeway
Is Cocking Causeway within the area you cover?
Yes. Cocking Causeway is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Cocking Causeway?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone is not made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
